In this episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, Chadd & Gina return after a short break to talk about something we all face: transitions. Life moves fast, schedules get full, and it’s easy for couples to drift when everything feels like it’s going 100 miles an hour.

They share three powerful ways to stay connected in your relationship no matter what season you’re in:
1️⃣ Put your phones down – be present with each other.
2️⃣ Look for the signs – notice when your spouse needs you more.
3️⃣ The Ritual of We – create intentional moments that keep you united.

It’s a real, honest conversation about slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering what truly matters.

🎙️ Episode 15 – A Mother, A Daughter, and the Truth About Blended Families

In this deeply personal episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, Gina is joined by her daughter, Rachael, for a raw and honest conversation about family, faith, and resilience.

Together they look back at the hard seasons—navigating Gina’s divorce, the things Rachael saw and heard as a child, and how she processed it all in her own way. Rachael shares her unique perspective on what it was like watching her mom step out of her comfort zone, move from singleness into dating Chadd, and how that transition wasn’t always easy for her compared to her older brother, Drew.

They also open up about the realities of blending two families. From starting a group text that never quite clicked, to facing age gaps, distance, and different personalities—the journey hasn’t been picture-perfect. But through it all, there’s been love, grace, and lessons that continue to shape them today.

It’s an unfiltered, emotional conversation that anyone navigating divorce, parenting, or blended family life will connect with.
